Fleet Footed. Rend, if you're not opposed to crushing tougher enemies. Whirl is also amusing against weaker enemies.

I get that it needs to spawn behind you but at least in AC, the horse runs to catch up with your pace and you can hop on in stride. With W3 you have to backtrack to get his stupid rear end off a hill our out of a bush or something

I respecced out of Fleet Footed and literally couldn't play the game on death march any more. My Geralt spends 90% of his time dodging around.

Also it allows you forward dodging with invulnerability. People think evade doesn't have iframes because invulnerability is briefly disabled if you just attacked, used a sign, dodged/evaded or got hit - so you still do evade animation as normal but without iframe in it and get hit.

People seem to say either that Fleet Footed is godly, or that it's pointless if you know how to dodge.

I dunno if that's what they set out to do, but I'm not sure how you'd win in any other way. You don't have enough stamina even with the best saddle to keep in front, blocking your opponents with roach's rear end is the only other trick in the bag I can think of.

It's weird that there are gallons of steroids for Geralt but none for his horse I just assume that if a skill in a videogame is so easy that even I can get the hang of it, it may not need any boosts.

Permit A38 and that scene where the tellers are busy chatting with each other as Geralt desperately tries to get their attention are lifted directly from the movie! Ha, I had no idea. This game is full of deep cuts.

I had just finished another playthrough of BotW when I fired up the Witcher 3 again, and I cannot tell you the profound sadness I felt when I couldn't backflip off of Roach and slow-mo snipe a drowner with my crossbow in mid-air.

Yeah I honestly couldn't tell the difference between when I had Fleet Footed on or off except that I could dodge directly into an attack and not take damage with it on. Otherwise I just had to not do that and it was fine.

I'd guess the split is between people who use Quen and people who use yrden. Dodging is way easier when all your enemy's attacks are a third as fast. Quen sucks.

Quen's great but it only gives you room for 1 fuckup per cast. Yrden is really nice but when a sidestep takes you across about half of the warded area, its not actually great for anything besides one or two large entities. e: vvvv way better ways, imo. Gourmet early game and Ekhidna decoction mid to late game. Ekimmara on top if you need it. Swallow kind of sucks, but White Rafford's isn't bad in an emergency either.

Yeah, I just find Yrden too irritating to use because I'm constantly dodging out of it. I hate ghosts. I'm going the Griffin path, so I find Quen pretty useful because it lets me just eat arrows to the face while I close in on archers, and in a group of enemies I'm constantly building up enough Adrenaline from hacking and slashing to throw up another Quen or scatter everyone with Igni. I also recently realized that I'm loving up by not visiting taverns. Alcohest and Dwarven Spirit are easy to find lying around, other alcohols not so much. And Balisse Fruit is apparently worth its weight in gold.

On death march, I use Griffin techniques and gourmet early on and dodge a lot so I basically always have quen up. Quen gives you one free gently caress up, gourmet gives you enough in-combat healing for another. I also use Igni a lot early on for crowd control. Gourmet won't let you take a ton of damage at once but it will extend your healing through a long fight.

Every new playthrough I always tell myself that I'm going to do a crossbow build but I never do. Normal difficulty maybe worth it just to gently caress around, but too scared to try it on Death March.
